Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Houston

A bilingual private practice in Houston's Rice Military neighborhood, Words of Wisdom has served pediatric and adult clients in English and Spanish since 2013. Children's services span early language milestones through adolescence — articulation, phonological disorders, childhood apraxia, language delays, fluency, and social-pragmatic communication. For families outside the Houston area, telehealth extends coverage to Texas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, and California. Every session is one-on-one, and caregivers are actively included in the process.

Best for

Houston families seeking evaluation and therapy for a child with communication delays or autism-related language challenges, particularly bilingual (English/Spanish) families who want a clinician experienced in both languages.

Their approach

Therapy is individually tailored using research-based methods, with each child's program built around functional goals that carry over to home, school, and everyday life. The team coordinates directly with classroom teachers and school SLPs so support stays consistent across every setting the child is in.

What to expect

The intake process begins with a comprehensive evaluation — standardized tests, informal assessments, and observation — followed by a consultation to review findings and map out a treatment plan, including session length and frequency. Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Medicare, and Triwest are accepted, along with private pay; the team can also help with out-of-network benefits. Families who aren't sure whether therapy is the right step can book a free 15-minute screening first.
